Childhood Memories

(1st Verse)

As I sit by the window I am lost in my shadow

My past mistakes, I feel like my heart will break

I don’t know if I can make things right

It’s cold and I’m all alone tonight

Slowly I begin to cry then I ask myself why

 

(Chorus)

I am thinking of my childhood memories

I try to forget all of my calamities

Mistakes that were made in ignorance

Mistakes that were made in my childhood

I try so hard and I wish I could

But it’s too late to regain my childhood

 

(2nd Verse)
It was like my path of destruction had already been laid

Like I was born into the abuse; I had a reason to be afraid

Left bleeding and broken on a bed

The trauma can really start to mess with your head

I needed help but no one was by my side

Then that got me thinking about committing suicide

 

(Chorus)

 

(3rd Verse)

Skin and bones, never eating, always frail

Binge drinking, just trying to keep myself from the reality

Not a day went past where I was sober

I prayed for the day when my life would be finally over

Get in the shower; try to wash away the smell

But they know what I’ve been doing; it’s easy enough to tell

 

(Chorus)

 

(Bridge)

If only I could have stayed strong

I tried but it didn’t last long

I fell back into the hole I had dug for myself

I even started to dig a little bit more

Just to make sure I got the punishment I deserved

For all the people I have hurt ……

 

(Chorus x 2)
